maintenance

An Afghan Air Force maintainer performs an inspection on a fire suppression bottle in the maintenance hangar at the AAF compound in Kabul, Afghanistan. Each Mi-17 has two bottles installed on board in case of multiple fires. The inspection is performed over the threaded area to ensure there are no defects. Defects or cracks render the fire bottle unserviceable. Coalition advisers work daily at the AAF compound to instruct Afghan maintainers on the fine art of maintaining the Afghan Mi-17 and Mi-35 helicopters. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Brian E.
